Re: Rough running... Need help... (vtak inside)
Yea, its a silverish lookin deal...
Yea, its a pop... Its not rapid... Its just a steady pop...
I'm running just 3" straight pipe dumped after the passenger door... Yea, its stupid loud...
Timing light is on my list of tools I still have yet to get...
I'll get it eventually... My shit is usually on point... I've been workin on cars for a while... Its just the whole turbo thing thats got me messed up b/c this is my first turbo car... Let alone it being a Honda... I've been in domestic land for a while and basically all I did was slam/bag shit and throw some bondo at it... This is a little more technical and I seem to enjoy it when its not giving me a headache...

Yes, he has a missing link. I saw it the other day. Is the pop on deceleration? That'll definately be normal since you have no back preasure, you should look into a muffler of some sort. Back preasure is needed with a smaller turbo. Both of my timing lights are at Darell's I'll get one over to you soon.
I do have popping on deceleration but I have sparatic popping at idle as well... Theres no rythmn to it... The only thing I can correlate w/ it is engine temp...

check and see if there is any play in ur dizzy rotor...happened on my car and was throwing the timing off...it can both advance or retard timing depending on the centrifugal force on the rotor
when cold honda ecus run extra ignition advance - id put my money on an ignition problem (the most common problem w/hondas)

check ur plugs and use htis resource to adjust ur ign timing

Re: Rough running... Need help... (vtak inside)
Out of curiosity did you check the wiring colors at the IAT? I've seen people plug some stuff up weird before, like IAT to knock and vice versa, even though it only being one wire....
Also seen them plug the purge valve in to random shit over there too, but that I recall(it's been about 5 years or better since I had my ek...and it was far from stock) the purge is on the charcoal canister next to the battery tray, and a diff plug.
